On the English Corpora site you will need to go to ‘My Account’ and register for, or log in to, a personal account.

The corpora were created by Mark Davies, Professor of Linguistics at Brigham Young University. The corpora have many different uses, including finding out how native speakers actually speak and write; finding the frequency of words, phrases, and collocates; looking at language variation and change; e.g. historical, dialects, and genres; gaining insight into culture; for example what is said about different concepts over time and in different countries; designing authentic language teaching materials and resources.

Investor-State Law Guide contains materials relevant to publicly available ICSID, NAFTA and ad hoc tribunal decisions. Search for a specific Treaty, Rule or Dispute document, or use one of the Research Tools to undertake comprehensive research. If you’re new to the resource, tutorial videos are available. To use the Notepad feature which enables you save your research, please email periodicals@liverpool.ac.uk
